Get your Christmas celebrations started on the right note

It may be the height of summer but it’s never too early to start planning an office Christmas party or a festive family feast and, as usual, the six John Nike Leisuresport centres have an exciting programme of entertainment planned.
The annual pantomime has been held at the Bracknell ice rink for the last 15 years and is a hit with local children and adults alike. Building on the success of last year’s ‘A Christmas Carol on Ice’, the show for 2003 will be ‘The Knights before Christmas’ – telling the story of King Arthur and the round table with a festive slant.The show will have something for everyone, combining beautiful ice skating with romance, swashbuckling action and magic. It runs from 10 to 14 December and tickets are already on sale – call 01344 789000 to book.
If you’re planning a Christmas celebration, for juniors or office colleagues, the Bracknell centre can cater for parties of all ages for up to 100 people.
There’s nothing like joining your friends or colleagues for an Alpine-themed fondue evening to get you in the Christmas spirit – something that all the ski and snowboard centres are inviting you to try this yuletide. At Chatham, for example, it can be combined with a disco to form an entire evening’s entertainment.
Alternatively, try one of Swadlincote’s famous ‘umpah’ evenings (£16.95 per person), combining a traditional Bavarian band with a fourcourse meal and two rides on the toboggan run.
Father Christmas will be busy as the guest of honour at several of the centres, including Llandudno, Swadlincote and Plymouth.At the latter, he will be joined by Polo the Polar Bear mascot and both will be making an appearance on the toboggan run.After working up an appetite on the slopes, the new menu at the restaurant on site will tempt your tastebuds.
Bracknell and Bristol ice rinks will also be offering children’s parties and can cater for up to 500 people – if you want to treat your children and their friends then why not enquire about a skating disco?

The Nike Group in brief

Customers of Lightfoots petrol station at Amen Corner, Bracknell, are well aware of how competitive their petrol prices are and now radio listeners across Berkshire and North Hampshire are well aware of that fact too.
The petrol station is often mentioned on a regular feature on local radio station 2Ten FM which lets listeners know where they can find the cheapest petrol in the area.
Barry Sillett, Manager at Lightfoots, said:“We are delighted to provide the people of Bracknell with good value petrol and look forward to serving new customers who hear about us on the radio.”

Nike Design is continuing to expand its business, with yet more contracts for school development projects.
The Bridgend-based consultancy has now won eight commissions in five schools over the last three years.The latest is for the construction of a new four- classroom teaching block for Bryntirion Comprehensive School in Bridgend.
Roger Finch, of Nike Design, told Connections: “We have designed the block in traditional materials of facing brickwork with a tiled roof.The classrooms will be built to last, making them better value for money than ‘temporary’ classrooms.”
